Renewal Engagement Tracking
Who this is for
A CSM has 35 accounts up for renewal in the next 90 days. They want to know which to prioritise before the renewal motion is too late to influence.
Renewal risk is a behavioural lag indicator: by the time the customer is asking for a discount or a delay, the renewal is already at risk. Engagement decay is the leading indicator, customers who stop opening CSM emails are at risk weeks before procurement reaches out.
Graded engagement tracking on the renewal cohort shows the 5-10 percent of accounts where engagement has decayed. That subset is where the CSM's time is best spent.
What the workflow looks like today
The CSM works the renewal cohort by contract date order. Some renewals are at-risk and get the same attention as healthy renewals. Some healthy renewals get over-engineered while at-risk ones go unnoticed until 14 days before the contract date.
Where the workflow breaks
- Renewal risk surfaced 14 days out; too late to address objections or escalate
- Champion changed jobs and no engagement signal flagged it
- Procurement timeline shifted because a hidden stakeholder went silent 60 days ago
- CSM time allocated by contract date order, not by engagement risk

How Outsolvi changes the workflow
- Filter the tracked-emails list to the last 30 or 90 days and every renewal email shows its counted opens, and the Sent filter narrows it to the ones nobody has opened yet
- Search a champion's address in the tracked-emails list and every email you sent them directly is there with its counted opens, so a champion who has gone silent, or left, stands out before the renewal date
- Hidden-stakeholder silence: filter the tracked-emails list to emails sent in the last 30 days with no counted open, and a previously-engaged stakeholder who has gone quiet shows up
- Pre-renewal touches: schedule up to 3 follow-ups on a tracked email, sent only if there's no reply yet (or always), either automatically or as a reminder for you to send, in the same thread
Engagement signals to watch for this use case

Champion is disengaging; renewal at risk
CSM calls champion directly within 5 days to surface the disengagement reason
New email address from same domain starting to engage
Champion may be transitioning; new champion to be identified
CSM asks current champion about org changes and offers introduction to new contact
Champion bounces on three consecutive sends
Champion has left the company
Account-level outreach to executive sponsor; identify new champion fast
Frequently asked questions
Does this require a CSM platform like Gainsight?+
No, though Gainsight and Outsolvi side by side cover both the health-score and engagement-signal layers (there's no sync between them). Standalone Outsolvi gives a CSM team graded opens, clicks and reply labels on every renewal email without the full CSM-platform investment.
How early can renewal risk be surfaced?+
Realistically 60-90 days before the contract date. Earlier than that and the signal is noisy. Later than that and there is not enough time to influence the outcome.

Nate built Outsolvi after watching every email-tracking tool he had ever used lie to him about opens. Outsolvi grades every open as a person or a machine, in Outlook and Gmail, so the number on the dashboard is one a rep can actually act on.
